1 | If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may
Israel say; |
|
2 | If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose
up against us: |
|
3 | Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was
kindled against us: |
|
4 | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over
our soul: |
|
5 | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
|
6 | Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their
teeth. |
|
7 | Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
the snare is broken, and we are escaped. |
|
8 | Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and
earth. |
